A Flavorful Twist on a Classic: Chicken Caesar Wraps You’ll Crave

There’s something timeless about a Caesar salad — crisp romaine, creamy dressing, savory Parmesan, and just the right crunch. But when you’re on the go or need a satisfying lunch that’s easy to hold, the Chicken Caesar Wrap is the perfect upgrade.

I first discovered this recipe on a busy weekday when all I had was leftover grilled chicken and a few tortillas. Tossed everything together with Caesar dressing, wrapped it up, and suddenly — a new family favorite was born! It’s now one of my go-to meals for summer lunches, road trips, and even light dinners.

What makes this wrap stand out is its balance — juicy, pan-seared chicken, crunchy lettuce, a hint of tomato for freshness, and a rich, garlicky Caesar dressing. It’s a simple dish that packs a punch, perfect for busy families, meal preppers, or anyone who loves bold flavor in a convenient package.
